Abstract: It was heretofore difficult to perform specific operations while at the same time avoiding a delay in exception processing and preventing a drop in performance. A pipeline comprises five stages of fetch I, decode R, execute A, memory access M, and register write W. An operation initiation instruction (instruction 1) and an operation result fetch instruction (instruction 2) are separately provided. Instruction 1 only causes an initiation, and then ends. Instruction 2 waits for the operation of instruction 1 to complete at stage R. If a request for exception processing is issued at this time, instruction 2 is canceled and the processing is performed since stages I and R do not modify the state of hardware. The execution of the operation also continues during this time. After exception processing, instruction 2 is re-executed from stage I.

Abstract: An optical transmission system includes means for measuring optical dispersion in the optical path, and a controllable element such as a dispersion compensator, operable in dependence on the measured value of dispersion. A low frequency dither on the optical signal causes timing jitter which varies according to the dispersion in the optical path. The timing jitter is extracted from a clock signal recovered from the optical signal. This jitter is correlated with the original dither to remove jitter effects caused by other mechanisms. Thus a value for dispersion is derived which can be used for monitoring or control purposes.

Abstract: A digital video playback apparatus selectively
reproduces video signals which are recorded by using a
plurality of cameras each at different angles. A digital
playback apparatus (42) reads out first and second video
stream data and first and second audio stream data, which
are compressed and recorded on a recording medium. A
demultiplexer (44) separates a signal output of the
digital playback apparatus into system information, the
first and second video stream data, and the audio stream
data. First and second video decoders (46, 48) expand the
first and second compressed video stream data outputs. An
audio decoder (50) decodes and expands the audio stream
data outputs from the demultiplexer (44). A key input
section generates first and second angle selection
signals. A controller (62) analyzes the system
information, and generates a switching control signal and
a plurality of delay time and gain control signals. A
switch (54) selects the first and second video stream data
according to the switching control signal. A delay time
and gain control circuit (52) delays the audio stream data
outputs from the audio decoder (50) according to the delay
time control signals, and controls gains of the delayed

Abstract: A device includes a self-information memory
(313) to store therein function data for other devices to
operate the pertinent device and device name data thereof.
Receiving a request from another device for the
device name or function data, the device sends the data
stored in the self-information memory. When function
data is thereafter received, the device executes an
instruction indicated by the data. In case where a
plurality of devices each including the self-information
memory are connected to each other via a bus or the like
in a form of a network, at least one of the devices,
i.e., a master device includes in addition to the
self-information memory a connected device memory (308)
to store therein device name data of all of the connected
devices and a communication pair memory (309) to store
therein function data of the communication partner. The
master device requests the other devices for device name
data thereof. When the requested data is received, the
master device stores the data in the connected device
memory. Consequently, by referring to the device name
data stored in the memory, the control device recognize
the device name of the connected device. Moreover, the
master device requests the other devices for function
data thereof. When the requested data is received, the
master device stores the data in the communication pair
memory. Therefore, by referring to the data stored in
the pair memory, the master device recognize the function 
of the communication partner. In consequence, when a
function is selected and function data related thereto is
sent to a communication partner, the function can be
accordingly executed.

Abstract: The method is used to determine the size distribution of at least two types of fluorescent particles in a sample. The particles in the sample are scattered and light illuminates the sample along a predetermined beam direction. At least one scattered light intensity value and at least one fluorescent light intensity value are measured for each particle. The particles are allocated to a respective particle type on the basis of the position of their measured value pair in a region in a three dimensional space which is defined by the intensity values. Each region has at least one local maximum of frequency of occurrence of the measured value pair in the space for the particle type. The relative frequency of occurrence of the fluorescence light intensity value for each particle is determined and is used to calculate the relative particle size distribution for the corresponding particle types. The relative size distributions for the individual particle types are normalised with respect to each other using the position of the regions in the three dimensional space. A common relative particle size distribution is formed for the particles of all types.
